Explorer Tom Saint Lugadius's Church (Clonleigh) has Sir Richard Hansard Kt. and his wife Dame Ann (c. 1622) kneeling in stone! I bet they are holding a very stiff pose because the sculptor said, "Don't move or you'll be stuck forever!"

Explorer Tom The Clonleigh Parish Hall in Lifford, dated 1868, features trefoil-headed windows and ashlar quoins that speak of craftsmanship.

Explorer Tom Town defences in Lifford are completely gone, but the history is rich. A 1600 account described the town as being 'encompassed by an old ditch', and a map at Trinity College Dublin shows its outline. It’s wild to think that twenty-one houses built for Sir Richard Hansard by 1611 were right there, now just part of the street pattern.

Explorer Tom McCauley's Restaurant serves fish and chips that are likely swimming in batter. If the fish looks suspiciously like a rock, don't worry, it's probably just very well-seasoned stone from the Atlantic Ocean.

Explorer Tom Battle site: battle Of the fords, Central crossing, 1689 in Magirr, Town Parks Of Strabane has caught my eye in Magirr; Town Parks OF Strabane, County Tyrone. I bet a battle site: battle of the fords, central crossing, 1689 with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Abercorn Factory has caught my eye in County Tyrone. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Castle in Town Parks Of Strabane has caught my eye in Town Parks OF Strabane, County Tyrone. I bet a castle with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical site in Edenmore is a ghost, with its church walls vanished from view. But Donegal Council once unearthed a Maltese cross slab right there in the graveyard soil, proving this 6th-century holy spot was no myth.

Explorer Tom Gray Printer has caught my eye in County Tyrone. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom 1916 Easter Rising Memorial Stone has caught my eye in County Tyrone. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Battle of Knockavoe Battlefield has caught my eye in County Tyrone. I bet a battlefield with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
